Your Letters

It's ririchardulous that people are (and Tuesday letters). I richardtated a letter on my richardtaphone to inrichardate my displeasure but my secretary informs me that my richardtion is not very clear, so I told her she shouldn't abrichardate her responsibilities and should use the richardtionary to check any spellings. I certainly feel vinrichardated, and derichardate this message to anybody out there who feels like richarding about with the English language.

Perhaps the word should be removed from the Richardtionary.

A few years ago I was browsing the desserts menu in a popular pub chain, and had to look twice after seeing "Raisin-Studded Richard".
Alex, Bristol
"Dermatologically-challenged, non-gender specific Richard", surely?
Clive DuPort, Vale, Guernsey
? Judging by the picture, that seems to be the point.

"Among the questions straining Web Monitor's cerebral cortex today..." - should that be cerebral or ? As I assume Web Monitor is non-carbon based life form, I vote for the latter.

Talking of Enid Blyton's 1940s (Tuesday letters), I was in the new branch of the Ginger Pop shop in Poole last week and bought some Noddy cards (don't ask) and some World War II replica pieces. Considering all the 70th anniversary commemorations for start of WWII last week, don't you think it spooky that the bill came to £19.39...?

Re - was I the only one who yawned when reading the article?
A, London
Tut tut Paper Monitor, how on earth did you manage to miss this headline? ()?
Katie, Nottingham
The one with "bottom" in the last paragraph (Tuesday letters). Sheesh, some people...
Ahem.
Pineapple onna stick?

Monitor note: Thanks, don't mind if I do.
If the Magazine is already online (i.e. it's an online magazine), then what's the advantage of following it on Facebook?
Patrick, Singapore
My daughter has finally returned to school after a mammoth 12-week holiday. I no longer have an excuse to make fairy cakes.
Rachel, Minnetonka
Monitor note: Fairy cakes are a favourite here at Monitor Towers, if you need a new excuse...
